Drawing Class

---

I took a drawing class during the fall session of Adult Ed last year. I posted a few of my prior drawings in this post.

During the last few weeks of the class, the teacher showed us how to copy and enlarge a photo by using the "grid" method. You draw 1" boxes on a photo, then draw larger boxes on a larger piece of paper (in my case, 2" boxes), and draw the outline of the objects in the photo so the figures and shapes are proportional to the lines/boxes of the original.

I started with this photo of M playing his Grandpa's banjo:




I printed a black-and-white copy of the photo, and drew boxes with 1" sides.



I don't have a picture of the boxes I drew for the larger version, but I do have a picture of the complete drawing, which I finished this morning.
